Coinbase XRP: A Riveting Tale of Ten (and Counting) 💼

by

At a time when extravagance in the virtual currency world would ordinarily have been the order of the day, it appears our dear friend Coinbase has rather less of XRP than it once claimed. What a charming quirk of fate! From a mighty 970 million XRP in the sultry June of 2025 to a mere 165 million-a whopping 83% reduction! Yes, quite the conundrum spotted by the ever-watchful XRPWallets.

Once, oh how glorious it was, supporting 52 well-to-do cold wallets, brimming with as much as 26.8 million XRP apiece. Alas, the grand scheme has folded into ten well-mannered executors, each harboring about 16.5 million coins. My word, what a sight! Such conservative complicity is delightful.

10 Cold Wallets Remaining at 16.5M XRP each.

By September, each of these ten virtuous souls was left with just 16,483,929 XRP, or in less fortunate fortunes, even less. The neat 16.5 million figure suggests a deliberate and graceful exit, rather like leaving an extravagant party on impeccably good terms.

Reasons, My Dear, in Just Two!

Why, you ask? ‘Tis supply rotation, that relentless creature. XRP seems to have been whisked away into on-demand liquidity corridors, exchange-traded products, and trust structures, leaving Coinbase rather empty-handed in public view.

A rather tactical distribution aligned with price levels as XRP soared this summer. Marker points from the cold vaults were sold off or reassigned with the deftness of an orchestral conductor.

The timeline does flirt with a dalliance involving Coinbase and BlackRock. Reports of an Aladdin integration initiation, first with Bitcoin, have reached our ears. Should XRP join this cotillion, it would suggest that the shrinking cold wallet troop is moving gallantly toward institutional grandeur.

Joyfully, June brought the grandeur of over 970 million XRP. Through the passing of the summer months, a mere 165 remained come September. A staggering 800 millionvanished overnight! Take that for metaphysical intramural sports.

Thus, only ten noble cold wallets stand, each with an air of 16.5 million currency. When their fates are sealed, XRP’s future will rest comfortably in escrow releases, corporate nominations, and good ol’ founder allocations-making it ever more the spirit of yesteryear’s charm.
